I was looking around Etsy yesterday to get some ideas of what's hot out there even though I hate hate hate following trends! But I also hate being unemployed. I see owls everywhere lately but the real stylized, cutesy kind which isn't my thing. (Although I do have a really cute notepad!) Anyway, I sat down and did a couple of miniature paintings in a new series I'll be doing called "Me And My Peeps." Just little cropped views of owls. Maybe another type of bird will sneak in there too, but there are already two artists on Etsy doing that and I don't like to copy/steal/borrow ideas. But I didn't see any realistic owls, so yay! My new series begins.
Happy Animal Wednesday!
So many images come to mind for this topic~some are whimsical, while others are just quiet observations.I get most of my inspiration from nature. I love trees. I draw them, paint them, photograph them~can't get enough of them. If the old, stately trees could talk, imagine the history they'd share. The younger trees are just starting out, reaching towards the sky with so much hope and promise. Not much different from us in many ways.
I love the way the same tree looks so different in morning light as compared to dusk. It's these seemingly little things that are huge to me.
It's the little things that make up the big picture.
Be sure to check out my entry for this topic in my Moleskine!
I just had to add this email to my blog. It is so cute and funny. Now obviously these kids have been influenced by adults here. My question to you is do the girls appear smart and the boys rather disgruntled or is it just me?
Marriage is not getting a very good rap here but it is funny to read..... or is it sad?

I can't get any pictures to come up, just the wording. I'm sure your owls are lovely. I think my son needs to fix my computer!
Great idea Lolo. These owls are beautiful!! What medium are you using?
HAW
I love these, especially how you've oriented them on the canvas! We have an owl that visits our backyard every now and then ... love him!
WOW! WOW! WOW!
you ace the eyes, and then you ace everything else! i love how you've painted glimpses, not the whole.
these are just stunning, lo. i love them and can't believe how talented you are. i don't get the title, though. why 'me and my peeps'?
love love love!

Thanks girls!
Teri, they're acrylic on 4"x4" canvas.
KJ, Um...peeps are what little birds are maybe? Or the sound they make? Or maybe that's just chickies. Hmmm.
Okay, then how about I'm only showing a glimpse of them and so it's like a peep show!
Yeah, that'll work ;P
Owls are my amakua (and I didn't spell that right-it's basically a totem animal). Usually an owl takes residence close by where I live-even when I didn't have small ratlike canines.
My cousin Cindy's animal is the buzzard-they follow her everywhere.
I had a native American friend who was very upset by my affinity with the Great Horned Owls who lived in my barn, but I couldn't help it-friends are friends and they were my good friends.
these are fantastic lo, where will you sell them/ etsy?
These are wonderful - both the idea and the artwork. I have a funny owl story. there was an owl perched in a tree near my MIL's house, another owl came along and perched in that same tree and they both started hooting and hollering at each other. it was wild, and DH and I stood and watched openmouthed. MIL ran outside and said "what's going on, should I call the police?".
Can you imagine calling the police on two noisy birds? We cracked up laughing.

Lolo, these owls are gorgeous! I love raptors, they are so regal and dignified. Best of luck on Etsy, I'll bet they'll do great! Thanks again for helping me get started on AW, I hope to post a drawing next time.
HAW!
You are so good that when I saw the blip on my dashboard of your first owl I said outloud "She did NOT do that!" Lo and behold, she DID! Wow! They are terrific. I hope you sell a ton of them.
Those eyes just mesmerize! What a spectacular beginning to a great set! :)
Flying cats!
They are incredible and your paintings have captured their special souls!
Nothing wrong with thinking of ways to make money.
You couldn't paint them like that if you don't love them. It shows.
Great series!
HAW!!!!!!
Many people collect owl "things". These little sketches will be perfect. You have captured those eyes so well. This owl looks to be peeping indeed. Best of luck and HAW.
Love the owls, they are a hoot! Sorry, had to go there. I like doing paintings with the subject cropped up a bit, like the fruit I have been doing. LOVE the raven in the kimono....so very nice!
Love your owls!Wonderful work!
Laurel, these are super! I wish you lots of success with them. Did you know that the owl is Renee's family totem too ?x
I love your owls, one of my favourite animals of all time. I miss hearing their calls, now where we live in town. First foster spaniel may be on its way.
They're be - oooooo - tiful.
